Dexter the Dino RC Balloon team

On Sunday morning Dexter made his first appearance at the 2026 Bristol International Balloon Fiesta under blue skies and beautiful sunshine! 🦖🎈

A big thank you to our good friends at Amarelo Balloon Team for being amazing Dino crew! 😎

This time last week we were enjoying the second day of sunshine and balloons on the banks of Lake Maggiore.

We teamed up with our good friend at The BIG balloon festival to bring RC model balloons to this amazing charity event in Angera, Italy.

Andy has put together this amazing video which captures some of the magic that we had the honour to be a part of.

A big thank you goes out to everyone who put in so much hard work to make this event a huge success and made us (and Dexter) feel so welcome.

A special thanks to our host Tom for driving us around and letting us stay in your beautiful home. The dream team crew who were with us all day in sun, helping inflate and pack away balloons as well as coordinating the teddy bear flights and collecting donations.

And finally to the people of Angera for welcoming us with open arms.

Until next year! 🦖🤍🎈

We are excited to be heading over to the beautiful Angera in North Italy next week to visit the Citta Della Mongolfiera alongside our good friends from The BIG balloon festival. We are honoured to be introducing RC hot air balloons to this great event for the very first time.

Dexter came out to play yesterday at the 2026 Llangollen indoors Balloon meet, Hosted by the The BIG balloon festival!

Dexter was excited to meet his new animal friends Bertie the Bear and Ollie the Owl. Although he got a bit too excited and tried to eat Berties owner 😅 (we need to see the picture M D Model Hot Air Ballooning Team )

Thank you to everyone who helped get Dexter out and safely packed away again! 🦖🎈
